rear window heater switch is pressed or the engine stops.
Automatic operation during a journey is initiated when low ambient air temperatures are experienced and the vehicle has been
travelling for a set period of time above a threshold speed. In this instance, no feedback is given to the driver to inform him
the rear window heater is operational (the switch LED is not illuminated). The duration of heater operation is variable depending on the ambient air temperature, vehicle speed and the amount of time the vehicle has been travelling.
Windshield Heater (Where Fitted)
Windshield heater operation is only enabled when the engine is running. The ATC module controls operation of the windshield heater using two relays in the EJB (engine junction box). When windshield heater operation is required, the ATC module broadcasts a message to the CJB on the medium speed CAN bus. On receipt of the message, the CJB energizes the relays by providing a ground path for both relay coils. This allows a battery feed to flow across the relays to power the windshield left
and right heater elements.
There are two modes of windshield heater operation; manual and automatic.
Manual operation is activated by pressing the windshield heater switch on the integrated control panel. When the switch is
pressed, the status LED in the switch illuminates and the windshield heater elements are energized. Manual operation is discontinued when the windshield heater switch is pressed a second time, 5 minutes have elapsed (the heating phase), or the
engine stops. If manual operation is discontinued by the engine stopping, the previous heating phase is resumed if the engine
is re-started within 30 seconds.
There are two variants of automatic operation; automatic operation at the start of a journey and automatic operation during a
journey.
Automatic operation at the start of a journey is initiated if the ambient air temperature is below 5 °C (41 °F). In this instance,
the switch LED is illuminated and the heater elements are energized for 6.5 minutes. Automatic operation is discontinued if the windshield heater switch is pressed or the engine stops.
Automatic operation during a journey is initiated when low ambient air temperatures are experienced and the vehicle has been
travelling for a set period of time above a threshold speed. In this instance, no feedback is given to the driver to inform him
the windshield heater is operational (the switch LED is not illuminated) and the duration of operation is variable depending upon the ambient air temperature, vehicle speed and the amount of time the vehicle has been travelling.
Exterior Mirror Heaters
Operation of the exterior mirror heaters is fully automatic and not controllable by the driver. Exterior mirror heater operation is
determined by ambient air temperature and windshield wiper status. When ambient air temperature reaches a pre-determined
level, the ATC module broadcasts an exterior mirror heating request to the door modules over the medium speed CAN bus. On receipt of this message, the door modules provide feed and ground connections to both exterior mirror heater elements.
The amount of time the exterior mirror heaters are operational increases if the windshield wipers are switched on. This ensures
the mirrors remain mist free in damp and wet conditions, where there is an increased risk of misting.
Seat Heaters (Where Fitted)
There are four seat heater settings available; off, 1, 2 and 3, which can be selected on the home and climate control screens
of the TSD. The heat setting is relayed to the vehicle occupants through a graduated display on the TSD.
Operation of the heated seats is controlled by the ATC module. When the ATC module receives a heating request from the TSD, it broadcasts a message to the CJB over the medium speed CAN bus. The CJB then provides a hardwired 12 V supply to the three heater elements in the related front seat. The heater elements, two in the seat cushion and one in the seat squab,
are wired in series. The ATC module monitors seat temperature using a temperature sensor located in each seat cushion. The CJB provides the temperature sensors with a 5 V supply. The level of the returned voltage back to the CJB is proportional to the seat temperature. The value of the return signal is broadcast to the ATC module, over the medium speed CAN bus, which allows it to control the seat temperature to the required level. The ATC module will suspend or disable operation of the seat heaters if any of the following occur:
Battery voltage exceeds 16.5 ± 0.3 V for more than 5 seconds. Seat heating is re-enabled when battery voltage
decreases to 16.2 ± 0.3 V.
If a short or open circuit is detected.
If the seat heat temperature rises significantly above the target temperature setting.
The graduated display on the TSD remains illuminated until the seat heaters are turned off or the engine stops. If the engine
is restarted within 30 seconds the seat heater resumes the previous heating level.

Battery and Charging System - General Information - Battery Care
Requirements
Description and Operation
1. INTRODUCTION
This document defines the requirements for care and maintenance of batteries, and the standard of battery care at dealers and
retailers for new vehicles.
This applies to all types of 12 Volt Lead Acid Batteries used in Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles whether they are conventional
flooded technology or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM – also known as Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA)) technology and also
applies to both Primary, Secondary and Auxiliary Batteries. AGM batteries offer improved resistance to cycling as seen in stop
start applications.
In order to prevent damage to the battery and ensure a satisfactory service life, all processes detailed within this document
must be rigorously adhered to.
It is equally important therefore to note the following key points:
All new vehicles leave the factory with either a transit relay installed and/or have a transit mode programmed into the
vehicle control modules. The transit relay must be removed and the transit mode disabled (where applicable) using an
approved diagnostic system, NOT MORE THAN 72 HOURS before the customer takes delivery.
The battery can be discharged by the following mechanisms:
- Self Discharge: - A lead acid battery will very slowly discharge itself due to its own internal chemical processes
whether it is connected to a vehicle or not.
- Quiescent Discharge: - The vehicle electrical systems when connected to the battery will draw charge from the
battery.
12 Volt Lead Acid Batteries rely on internal chemical processes to create a voltage and deliver current. These processes and
the internal chemical structure of the battery can be damaged if the battery is allowed to discharge over a number of weeks /
months, or is left in a discharged state for a lengthy time period.
On vehicles with conventional ignition keys, these must not be left in the ignition lock barrel when the transit relay
has been removed, otherwise quiescent current will increase and the battery will discharge more rapidly.
For keyless vehicles, the Smart Key must be stored at least 5m (16 ft) away from the vehicle when the vehicle is
parked or stored.
AGM Batteries are fully sealed and cannot have the electrolyte level topped up.
NOTE: Dealers and retailers involved in the storage / handling of vehicles and replacement batteries have a responsibility
to ensure that only a fully charged battery may be processed through the distribution selling chain.
2. GENERAL RULES FOR BATTERY CARE
2.1 Dealer Demonstration Vehicles
Vehicles used as dealer demonstrator(s), in a showroom, must be connected to a JLR approved showroom conditioner capable
of delivering 50 Amps. This will prevent the battery from being damaged.
2.2 Software Reflash, SDD work or Ignition On related workshop activities
Due to the high electrical current demand and high depth of discharge that can occur during vehicle software re-flash activities,
SDD work or ignition on (power mode 6) related work in the workshop, vehicles that are undergoing such activities MUST have a
JLR approved power supply capable of delivering 50 Amps or more.
2.3 Extended Vehicle Rework
For any extended vehicle rework that results in consuming vehicle power, either the battery should be disconnected or a JLR
approved power supply connected.
2.4 Jump Starting New vehicles before they have been delivered to the customer
It is the dealer / retailers responsibility to make sure the battery is not allowed to discharge by following the
instructions and processes defined in this manual.
However, if circumstances dictate that a new vehicle must be jump started due to a discharged battery whilst the
vehicle is in the dealer / retailers care, the battery on this vehicle must be replaced with a new one prior to delivery
to the customer at the dealer / retailers liability.
The vehicle should also undergo investigation as to why the battery became discharged.
Do not connect the jump starting cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Always connect to the recommended
earth point. As defined in the owners handbook or service documentation for that vehicle. 2.5 AGM Batteries
AGM batteries must not be charged above 14.8 Volts. Doing so will damage them.
AGM Batteries must be tested with a capable battery tester as detailed in the Equipment section (Section 5) of this
Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery and Cables - Overview
Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
Single Battery Vehicles Published: 18-Jun-2014
Mounted on the battery negative terminal is a BMS (battery monitoring system) module. The BMS module is integral with the
battery negative cable and is controlled by the ECM (engine control module).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the battery monitoring system module, always use a suitable body ground point rather than
the battery negative terminal when connecting a slave power supply to the vehicle.
If a new battery is fitted to the vehicle, the BMS module will require re-calibrating using the Jaguar approved diagnostic
system.
Fitted on the battery positive terminal is a transit relay. The transit relay must be removed from the vehicle during the
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). For additional information, refer to the PDI Manual.
The vehicle battery provides power to the BJB (battery junction box). The BJB contains 3 megafuses, delivering power to the RJB (rear junction box), the CJB (central junction box) and the EJB (engine junction box). In addition to containing fuses and
relays, the RJB and RJB contain software to control a number of vehicle systems. These functions are covered in the appropriate sections of this manual.
Dual Battery System Vehicles - TD42.2L Engine Variants Only
Two batteries are fitted to accommodate the dual battery system used for the Stop/Start system.
A primary battery is located in the luggage compartment floor in a plastic molded tray and secured with a metal rod. The
secondary battery is located in the DBJB (dual battery junction box).
The primary battery is a 90Ahr, 850A CCA AGM Battery.
The secondary battery is a 14Ahr, 200A CCA Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Battery.
A BMS (battery monitoring system) control module is mounted on the primary battery negative terminal. The BMS control
module is integral with the battery negative cable and is controlled by the GWM (gateway module).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the BMS control module, always use the ground (negative (-)) terminal stud point on the
right side top mount. Never connect directly to the primary battery negative terminal when connecting a slave power supply to
the vehicle, the BMS control module can be damaged.
If a new primary battery is fitted to the vehicle, the BMS control module will require re-calibrating using a Jaguar approved
diagnostic system.
When the vehicle leaves the factory, a transit relay is fitted to the battery positive terminal. The transit relay is connected to
the CJB which limits the electrical functions to essential items only, to reduce loads on the primary battery. The transit relay must be removed from the vehicle during the PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection). For additional information, refer to the PDI.
The primary battery provides power to the BJB. The BJB contains three megafuses, delivering power to the RJB, the EJB and the starter motor and generator. In addition to containing fuses and relays, the RJB and CJB contain software to control a number of vehicle systems. These functions are covered in the appropriate sections of this manual.
A jump start terminal is located adjacent to the EJB. A cover protects the terminal when not in use. If jump starting is
required, the cover must be removed and the positive (+) jump lead attached securely. The negative (-) jump lead is attached
to a stud located on the right side top mount in the engine compartment. The cover must be fitted to the positive terminal
when not in use.
Dual Battery System
The dual battery system is used on vehicles with the stop/start system. The dual battery system prevents the vehicle
electrical systems being subjected to undesirably low voltages during repeated engine restarts. If the electrical systems are
subject to low voltages the customer may notice degraded performance of components and systems and incorrect fault DTC
(diagnostic trouble code)'s may be stored.
The dual battery system isolates all electrical components and systems sensitive to low supply voltage from the primary
battery while an engine start is in progress, and supplies them from the secondary battery. Without the dual battery system,
the electrical power required by the TSS (Tandem Solenoid Starter) motor to crank the engine for each start would cause a
voltage drop across the entire vehicle electrical network, and cause control modules to function incorrectly and in some cases
reset and/or record DTC's.
If the dual battery system is unable to prevent electrical supplies to the vehicle systems being subjected to low voltage levels
during engine stop/start operations, due to the condition of the primary and/or secondary batteries or a system fault, the
stop/start feature is disabled.
The dual battery system comprises the following components:
Dual Battery Module (DBM).
Dual Battery Junction Box (DBJB).
Gateway Module (GWM).
Primary battery.
Secondary battery.
The GWM hosts most of the software required to control the dual battery system and components. The GWM monitors the
components and can store fault related DTC's.
The GWM also controls the charging system software in conjunction with the ECM, RJB, CJB and ABS (anti-lock brake system) control module via the high speed and medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus. The GWM software will monitor the
status of the stop/start system and determine when a stop/start event can occur. It can also intervene to maintain vehicle
systems by keeping the engine running or initiating a restart due to, for example, climate control system requirements or
request for restart from the ECM. A brake pressure signal is received from the ABS control module which will indicate to the
GWM that an engine restart is required from driver operation of the foot brake.
The GWM contains the intelligent power management system and the BMS software. Monitoring of the primary battery
condition for stop/start is controlled by the GWM and the BMS control module.
first charges the battery to its full condition.
NOTE: If the vehicle is only driven for short periods the charging process could take a number of days to complete.
Once the battery is fully charged, the BMS control module will discharge the battery to approximately 75% of its full state of
charge, but never lower than 12.2 V. The time taken to complete this part of the routine is dependent on the electrical load on
the vehicle.
When the second part of the routine has been successfully completed, the BMS control module will return the battery to its
optimum level of charge. The optimum level of charge will be between 12.6 V and 15 V, depending on battery condition,
temperature and loading.
The BMS control module also monitors the primary battery condition with the engine switched off. If a low voltage condition is
detected the BMS control module can request the infotainment system is switched off to protect battery voltage.
DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM - DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM VEHICLES ONLY
The dual battery system prevents electrical loads on the vehicle being subjected to low voltage levels during an ECO
(stop/start system) engine start. Low voltage can occur due to the power demand of the TSS (Tandem Solenoid Starter) motor
and could result in degraded performance of components and/or system control modules. The GWM contains the software to
control the dual battery system and electrical load management system to ensure that ECO engine starts do not affect other
vehicle systems.
The dual battery system isolates all power supply sensitive electrical components which may be affected by low voltage from
the primary battery due TSS motor operation, and supplies them with power from the secondary battery when an engine start
is in progress.
The DBJB (Dual Battery Junction Box) contains two contactors, which operate to change the power supply into two separate
circuits when an ECO engine start is required. Sensitive electrical components are supplied from the secondary battery. The
primary battery power is used exclusively to supply the TSS motor and maintain essential power loads to the engine
management system required for engine starting. The contactors are operated by the DBM (Dual Battery Module) on receipt of
LIN bus information from the GWM.
